Speaking
with newsmen after the meeting, the Chairman of the group, Godswill
Apkabio vowed that the PDP will still retains its number of seats as
Governors after the April 11th governorship elections. He said their
party would pursue all legal means to address any legal concerns they
have regarding the outcome of the presidential election

"We as
governors came to assure him (the President) that we are going back as
field commanders to hold our states and that come April 11, PDP will
still maintain its lead across Nigeria. Everybody
knows that the only party that is national in nature and is on ground
is the PDP. So we are not going to be undaunted by what has happened.The party
has already indicated that it will explore all legal means in order to
ensure redress. So, we are also proud of the party and we want to
congratulate all our voters and all PDP faithfuls across Nigeria for
their peaceful disposition. This is
the only party that has not carried stick to break somebody’s windscreen
after election. Because of the sacrificial stand of the President, our
faithfuls are not on the streets, breaking APC windscreens and vehicles. If it
were to be the other way round, you know what would have happened today.
That is where Nigerians must judge: we want peace, stability and
unity.” he said
